Recent posts on Frugal for Life and Lifehacker reminded us of some easy, eco-friendly ways to remove odors from -- or, as Lifehacker says, "de-stinkify" -- our homes (without resorting to non-green air fresheners). Following are some of the ideas:
• Try to determine what the odor is from -- throw out old food, take out the garbage, run the garbage disposal, clean smelly shoes and dog beds, change the cat box
• Open all the windows
• Soak a cotton ball in clove oil, lemon extract, peppermint or vanilla extract; place it in a plastic bag or container with holes, and place in the smelly room
